Yoga and meditation on the breath

This is a wonderful meditation to perform when stressed, upset, or in a state of fear.

Start by closing your eyes and meditating on the breath. Feel the flow of air entering and leaving the body. Receive every breath as a gift of life.

Use the mantra “Sat Nam”. “Sat” means truth beyond time and space, and “Nam” means identity.

Be grateful and slow down your breath by breathing completely and using the full capacity of your lungs.

Breathing less than eight times per minute will have such effects like making the pituitary gland secrete. This also stimulates intuition and gives you more awareness. The pituitary gland is also known as the master gland because it regulates nine different glands.

Breathing less than four times per minute will put you in a meditative state.
